Worthington Co. was a publishing house in New York founded by R. W. Worthington.

In 1874 after publishing in Montreal and Boston, R. W. Worthington founded his New York house styled as "R. Worthington and Company". Worthington struggled with financial difficulties throughout its life. Early on it printed more elegantly bound books whereas later by the mid 1880's cheaper books were the mainstay.

From 1876 to 1885 the publisher was called "R. Worthington" and between 1885 to 1893 it was "Worthington and Company".[1]


In 1982 they published Magical Experiments by Arthur Good, an English translation of a French book written in 1890.
